the republicans, we're told by a source, have decided to schedule a vote on raising the debt ceiling on wednesday. so, this means that one of the big hang-ups that everybody was worried about, the republicans have said they would not make a fight over this right now. they've agreed to raise the debt ceiling, as far as we know. this would be for three months, and then they would take it from there. but this gives everybody some breathing room and has to be taken as good news today. >> and now we see live the vice president's sons and the vice president's daughter taking their seat as the families of the president and the vice president are announced here on the west front of the u.s. capitol. we'll be expecting to see the first family again here shortly. and, of course, the crowds up and down the national mall, here to witness american history for themselves. they have a much easier day of it today than they did in 2009. in 2009 when the president took the oath, it was 28 degrees, but now it's about 39 degrees in washington and it is cloudy but a very beautiful day here, a perfect day

tomorrow on raising the debt ceiling for the next three months, during which you can work on some of the deficit reduction and other issues. are you going to vote in favor of that language? >> i haven't seen the legislation yet. i'll have to take a look at it. i am very concerned. first of all, we should be sending the president a clean debt ceiling increase -- >> but if that doesn't happen, it's better than nothing, right? >> if it's not a clean debt ceiling -- >> are you concerned there's going to be some poisoned pill in there? >> well, they are already tying a debt ceiling increase to something else, to a budget, to congressional pay. what we need to do is make sure we pay our bills. we need to make sure we inject more certainty, not less, into the economy. a three-month debt ceiling increase does not do that, especially if it's tied to -- if it's conditional, that's not clean. >> congresswoman, thanks for coming in. or madame chair. >> both. >> any title that you have. >> thank you very much. >>> militants on the rise in north africa. some peexperts say the threat t the u.s. cou

the debt ceiling crisis at least temporarily. republicans are planning to offer legislation that will suspend the enforcement of the federal debt limit for at least three months, allowing the government to keep borrowing money to pay for all of its current obligations. in exchange, the house gop'ers want the democratic-controlled senate to do something they haven't done in 1,365 days, pass a budget. something that body hasn't done since 2009. now, instead of demanding spending cuts, republicans have added a provision to the bill that would suspend lawmakers' own paychecks if their chamber fails to pass a budget by april 15th. that's a lot like actually the no labels, no budget, no pay plan that that organization's been dealing with, talking about for a long time. michael steele, i think that's a great idea. >> i do, too. >> if you don't do your job -- >> why get paid for it? >> and the democrats in the senate haven't done their job in that many days, why pay them? >> i don't think you should. in fact, if i had my way, it would be
